Serial liar jailed after bogus rape claims

A "serial liar" who made a series of bogus sexual assault allegations against 15 men has been jailed.
Jemma Beale falsely claimed she was raped by nine men and sexually assaulted by six, all strangers, in four encounters spanning three years.
One allegation led to the conviction of a man who was jailed for seven years.
The 25-year-old from Hounslow was found guilty of perjury and perverting the course of justice following a six-week trial at Southwark Crown Court.
Beale, who was in a relationship with a woman, was sentenced to 10 years in prison.
Judge Nicholas Loraine-Smith said in sentencing: "This trial has revealed, what was then not obvious, that you are a very, very convincing liar and you enjoy being seen as a victim.
"The prosecution described your life as a 'construct of bogus victimhood'.
"These offences usually began as a drunken attempt to get your partner's sympathy or perhaps to arouse her jealousy.
"They each began impulsively, but what is particularly chilling is the manner in which you persisted in making allegations which you knew were untrue even to the extent of committing and repeating perjury."'Perverse impact'

Prosecutor Madeleine Wolfe told the court police spent 6,400 hours investigating Beale's lies at a cost of at least £250,000, and the trial cost at least £109,000.
"Cases such as this bring a real risk that a woman who has been raped or sexually assaulted does not complain to the police for fear of not being believed", the judge added.
"False allegations are likely to have the perverse impact of increasing the likelihood of guilty men going free."
In a victim impact statement, Mahad Cassim, who was wrongly convicted of raping Beale in 2010, told the court he had been hugely affected by the false claim.
"One of my goals is to be a successful businessman, to have a nice family and be happy," he said.
"I am working on the happiness - I have a long way to go."
Beale had also falsely claimed she was groped by a stranger, Noam Shahzad, in a pub in July 2012.
She alleged she was then gang-raped by him and other men, and even self-inflicted injuries to back up her claims she was assaulted with barbed wire.
The following year Beale fabricated similar allegations against six other men.
She claimed two strangers sexually assaulted her and said she was gang raped again, by four others, two months later.[Only registered and activated users can see links. ][Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

She has basically ruined these peoples lives as well as their loved ones too. She should be sentenced to psychiatric detention indefinitely imho.

Re: Serial liar jailed after bogus rape claims

Jemma Beale has been described as a "very convincing liar" who injured herself with barbed wire to back up one of her claims.

Police spent more than £250,000 investigating Jemma Beale's claims

Jemma Beale was branded a "very convincing liar" as she was sentenced for four counts of perjury and four counts of perverting the course of justice.
The 25-year-old from Bedfont in west London had claimed she was gang raped by nine male strangers and sexually assaulted by six men in four different encounters over a three-year period.
But Beale invented the "chilling" claims - often drunkenly - to make her girlfriend jealous, Southwark Crown Court heard.
In July 2012, she even injured herself to back up a claim that she had been assaulted with barbed wire.
Police spent more than £250,000 and 6,400 hours investigating Beale's claims.
Judge Nicholas Loraine-Smith said the case would likely have a "perverse impact" by increasing the chances of guilty men walking free and victims not reporting sex crimes for fear of not being believed.

Beale wanted 'attention and control over her partners and family', police say
Detectives first became suspicious when one of Beale's previous partners claimed a man had been wrongly jailed for raping her in November 2010.

Mahad Cassim was sentenced to seven years in prison, but subsequently had his conviction quashed in 2015.
He said in a statement during Beale's trial: "One of my goals is to be a successful businessman, to have a nice family and be happy. I am working on the happiness - I have a long way to go."
Beale's defence lawyer said she still maintains her innocence and is considering appealing against the sentence.
He told the court: "Ms Beale stands by the claims she made in this matter and if she had her time again she would again plead not guilty to these matters and contest the trial."
Sergeant Kevin Lynott of the Metropolitan Police said: "Beale has been exposed as a serial liar and I can only think that she was motivated partly by financial reward, but mainly the attention and control over her partners and family at the time she made the allegations.
"The impact on those she falsely accused has been devastating, however hopefully the outcome now fully exonerates all the men she falsely accused of such heinous crimes."

Woman convicted of perjury offences

A woman has been convicted of perjury and perverting the course of justice after she made a series of false rape and sexual assault allegations to police over a three-year period.
Jemma Beale, 25 (29.12.91) of Bedfont, Hounslow was found guilty on Thursday, 6 July of four counts of perjury and four counts of perverting the course of justice following a six-week trial at Southwark Crown Court.
She was remanded in custody and is due to be sentenced on Thursday, 24 August.
Detectives from the Met’s Sexual Offences, Exploitation and Child Abuse (SOECA) Command launched an investigation into Beale in December 2013 after they learned of a claim by one of Beale’s former girlfriends that a man - Mahad Cassim - had been wrongly jailed after Beale had lied that she’d been raped by him in November 2010.
The information came to light when officers were investigating a separate allegation by Beale, where she claimed to have been raped by a number of men, including two men known to her, during an incident in Feltham in November 2013.
With concerns over Beale’s account, officers carried out a review of four investigations into allegations of rape and sexual assault made by Beale between 2010 and 2013. Police found common discrepancies and similar circumstances within the allegations, which strengthened their suspicions that Beale may have fabricated them.
One of the rape allegations made to police by Beale in 2010 led to the conviction of Mahad Cassim, who was jailed for seven years. After the Crown Prosecution Service and his defence team were alerted to the fact that there were serious doubts over the validity of Beale’s allegations, Cassim subsequently appealed against his conviction and it was quashed at the Court of Appeal in July 2015. This decision had been subject to reporting restrictions pending the completion of Beale’s trial.
In another case, Beale claimed she had been sexually assaulted by Noam Shazad in a pub and then subjected to a serious sexual assault where she claimed barbed wire had been used on her by him and a gang of three others in the car park in Hounslow. Shazad was charged with assault by penetration and sexual assault, but fled the UK for Pakistan prior to his trial. All charges against Shazad have since been dropped and he is no longer wanted in relation to any of these matters.
After further enquiries, Beale was arrested in June 2014, but she maintained that she was not making up any of the allegations - despite mounting evidence that they were false. During the trial, Beale even accused four separate doctors and medical professionals that they had provided wrongful evidence, rather than admit that she was lying.
However, the jury found her guilty of four counts of perjury (relating to false testimony provided during the trial and retrial against Cassim) and four counts of perverting the course of justice relating to three other incidents where she falsely claimed she had been sexually assaulted or raped.

Detective Sergeant Kevin Lynott, who led the investigation into Beale’s false allegations, said: “Cases such as this are exceptional and very rare but it does show how seriously we take allegations of rape and sexual assault and that we will carry out a thorough investigation in order to get to the truth.
“Beale is responsible for fabricating a series of extremely serious allegations, which led to several extensive investigations being carried out and teams of detectives and specialist officers spending thousands of hours on the cases and providing support to her.
“Her manipulation of the criminal justice system has caused police to direct significant amounts of resource into investigating her bogus complaints as well as her own offending. She has also significantly impacted on the NHS as a result of her complaints and used up many other limited resources that are relied upon by genuine survivors. Not only that, but she then went on to give false testimony at court, which resulted in the wrongful conviction and imprisonment of a completely innocent man.
“Beale has been exposed as a serial liar and I can only think that she was motivated partly by financial reward, but mainly the attention and control over her partners and family at the time she made the allegations. The impact on those she falsely accused has been devastating, however hopefully the outcome now fully exonerates all the men she falsely accused of such heinous crimes.”

Re: Serial liar jailed after bogus rape claims

It's amazing how much attention this story has received, both here and in the press. I'm assuming it's because it's a rare occurrence. Actual rape cases don't make front page news as they are so frequent. And this is a problem. This story, and others like it, that highlight rare crimes, completely distort our reality. This is just one example, but the media do it with everything, from benefit cheats to religious fanatics. The most worrying thing is how it colours public opinion and, in turn, influences political policy, especially in this post modern era of obsessive 5 year election cycles.

Was reading an article a few weeks back about how Male rape (as in the man being raped by either sex) is at an all time high but it doesn't sell newspapers so we never really hear of it unless it happens next door. As you say though I am surprised how much attention this story is getting.

Stories like this always remind me of Craig Charles who spent time in prison for rape and was cleared.
